A DIY SCHOOL LOCKER PENCIL BOX

Hello all, Agnes is here sharing a super versatile storage box: a Locker Shape Pencil Case. It is an SVG file from a digital store. After uploading it to the Cricut Design Space, I duplicated it three times and re-size them to the following sizes: 10.75", 8.75 and 6.75".
It is a Locker shape box that serves as a pencil case or to store any other kind of goodies. Since school days are near, I thought this would come in handy. You could even use it as a gift box.

I chose this Esse cardstock for my base because it is a thick cardstock (100lbs) perfect for when you need a good sturdy base or cover for any project.

To the left, you see all parts ready to be cut.
I also used the Locker Talk Cartridge for the embellishments. I also used a Cricut marker (black ink medium tip) to write the words instead cutting them.
To the right, you see the first cut I made: the pencil case front.
This SVG cuts dotted lines for scoring purposes but you can change the settings to score but because this is a thick cardstock it is more convenient and easy to score if you let it make the dotted lines.

Sorry about some of this blurriness, I didn't realize until now and it was too late to start over. Please, accept my apologies. 
The first pic shows the Explore writing the words prior to cut them, the second pic shows all the cut parts and the third shows a close up of the words. I decided to fill them in with ink and used the same Cricut marker I used to write.
The colored cardstock is a mix of Pop tones and Basis. You can find these cardstock collections at the Cut Cardstock store.
Again, from left to right: folding along the dotted lines on the pencil box and to the right shows how well the explore writes. I did manipulate the size and shape of the High School sign to fit my locker front. I mounted the embellishments on foam tape square for dimension.
The tab at the right is used to open and close the lid.

 A few more pics showing some pencils and markers inside the pencil cases.

And more pics...I want you to check the texture of this Esse cardstock. It is beautiful. I am in love with it. I also want you to take notice of how the pencil box top goes in the bottom part instead going over it like a common box will close. I think that detail is very nice.

I hope you enjoy today's project. I think is a darling and very useful.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I wish you have a great weekend.

NOTES...A BIND IT ALL PROJECT


this is a BIA (Bind It All) project. a small notebook for a young friend friend of my son. T will be going to Connecticut to study theater/film production. she is very smart and already wrote, directed and produced a small play while in high school. T also assisted on the production of Lil' Abner, where my son played Abner.

Notes
5.25 x 3.25
NOTES were stamped with the Font-abulous clear stamp set from My Pink Stamper. the theater faces (sometimes called (Comedy and Tragedy) are from Locker Talk---image #24 with all its layers.

the ticket border is from K&CO. and the faces were stamped with an inkadinkado stamp set i own.

another view so you noticed the thickness of the notebook and the faces. i used modge podge to adhere the paper to a very thick chipboard.

this is how your BIA wires should look when closed. i still can't get a perfect "O" but i am getting much better. i really do not think you can get a perfect "O" but i keep trying. :P
T school colors are red, black and white.

thanks for stopping by and i hope this project reminds you of the dusty BIA in your closet. hehe
(that is where i found mine--LOL)

love you all and have a fab day!

BITTEN BY THE BUG 2 DESIGN TEAM


 (click on this link to see what the rest of the team has made and to participate in the challenge)

***

hello my friends...hope all is well with you all.

you read the title right.....i am in a new design team:
Bitten by the Bug 2

i am so excited that Heather invited me to be in their design team. i have been lurking and stalking this site since Regina used to run the first one. i invite you to be part of it and enjoy all the work that these talented ladies have to offer and to participate in the challenges too. this is a new adventure for me and for you too and i am ready to start.

we were asked to work with the  
Locker Talk
  cartridge and use any school supply image for our project.

I am very happy to present my first project for the fabulous design team of BBTB2...

*_*
Science Notes


 i first made the pencil from page #37 image 6 . i decided not to use the card feature and using my gypsy i welded two of the "pencil cuts" using the shadow creative feature. i also cut a blackout cut from the rest of the layers, which i covered then with pattern papers, to give my card more definition and more substance in real life. the word "notes" was done using the "all mixed up" cartridge. the red brad look alike is a red button i had in my vintage button box. i also inked every layer but the black ones ;p.
i then was thinking the pencil looked very lonely and i made a book to take "notes" from--lol.


 this "book" is on page #47 and the "science" word you find on page #63---using shift and the "phrase/layers" feature.
the goofy face was done using bits and pieces of scraps.


and here you have it again.

i hope it inspires you to start using some of these older cartridges. while looking through the handbook i was amazed at how much this cart has to offer.

i want to Thank Heather publicly, the owner of the BBTB2, for giving me the opportunity to be part of their team and for believing i am up to the task :)
 and to Lori who picked the theme for this challenge i had so much fun making my project.

i think all is good here and i hope you feel the same way. if you have the time, please go and visit this wonderful blog and wonderful design team.
you will be drooling over all the projects there and filling up your head with so many ideas---that is what happens to me anyways, lol

love you all!!!
